Boomer 'n Shannon - Cruise'n the Country

  I have always wanted to ride around Lake Superior, so we decided to go for it.  Everyone kept telling us about how cold it is, how rainy it is, and it was 80 and sunny every day!  So don't change your plans based on fear.  With that said, the first section from Sault St. Marie was really nice.  We really enjoyed the ride around to about Wa Wa.  Then it was just nice country rocks and trees scenery.  Anyhow, we went to the campground and dropping off our trailer because we didn't need that for just a couple days riding and staying at motels.       Ready to hit the road!   Wow, that outta fill a guy (and gal) up! Yes, I love to ride the grating on the Mighty Mac.  Many refuse, I enjoy the challenge :)  And honestly, it feels weird, but you drive straight and enjoy it. How about a rearview mirror and gating shot! Just in time to watch a freighter pass through the locks millions of gallons of water f

This is a business first trip as we are headed to look at other accounting programs just to be sure we have growth plans in order.   1st stop is Detroit, then up to Waterford to get the bike from Bruce Shepard's father's garage.  Thanks Bruce and Marion!  Then Chicago for a Sage conference.   See the little ball of light under the wing tip, it was lightning!  Never seen it from that perspective.  Kinda difficult to catch in a picture though.  Watching the sun rise while we descend on Detroit  Weird how it got darker when we landed.  The cloud base really affects the amount of light getting through. Finally getting light... Again. Yes!  Ride time!  We haven't had "W" (or Shannon calls it Sunny) for long, but it is growing on us quickly. We always try to get a selfie at the park sign....  Err, the sign under construction... We found one completed!  Look at the joy in our faces.  OK, now back on track to Chicag
